- The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) announced that the United States will rejoin it in July.
- It will rejoin four years after it left the agency (along with Israel), alleging that UNESCO was biased against Israel.
- The move to rejoin will face a vote by UNESCO’s member states.
- The decision to return was also due to China filling the gap left by the US in UNESCO policy making.
- The United States previously pulled out of UNESCO under the Ronald Reagan administration in 1984 and rejoined in 2003 under then President George Bush.
